history
The first documentary mention that can be reliably assigned comes from the document book of the Arnsburg Monastery and is dated 1305. A new church was built around 1300, the choir tower of which has been preserved. The current nave of the Evangelical Church in Reiskirchen was built between 1769 and 1771 in a transitional style between late baroque and classicism .
The statistical, topographical and historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on the Buseck Valley in 1830 :
“Busecker Thal (L. Bez. Giessen) area. The Busecker Thal consists of 9 towns: Altenbuseck, Großenbuseck, Albach, Beuern, Bersrod, Burkhardsfelden, Oppenrod, Reißkirchen and Rödchen, which together have 5675 inhabitants. - The foursome and heirs of Buseck came under landgrave jurisdiction in 1332. But they never wanted to be seen as country residents , but as immediate imperial residents. Large disputes arose over this in 1547, and in the settlement made in 1576 the residents recognized the sovereign sovereignty of the landgrave, but the jurisdiction of the von Buseck was recognized by the landgrave as an undisputed imperial fiefdom. In 1706, new controversies caused the imperial Reichshofrath to repeal the settlement and to declare the Busecker valley to be an immediate imperial fiefdom, to penalize those with 50 marks of solder as a penalty, and to transfer the upholding of this resolution to several neighboring imperial estates. The Landgrave then turned to the Imperial Assembly at Regensburg, whereupon the Hesse-Darmstadt House of Hesse-Darmstadt was given jurisdiction, along with fiefdom, as a permanent imperial commission, and the settlement of 1576 was confirmed. In 1827, the Baron von Buseck family ceded the patrimonial jurisdiction to which they were entitled in the Busecker Thal to the state. "
as well as about Reiskirchen:
"Reisskirchen (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Parish village; is located on the Chaussee from Giessen to Alsfeld, 2 hours from the first place. The village belongs to the Freiherrl. The von Buseck family, has 98 houses and 590 inhabitants, who, apart from 24 Jews, are Protestant. Quite a lot of canvas is made here. - Reisskirchen, formerly Richoloiskirchen , had its own church as early as 1226. In 1827 the Freiherrl. The von Buseck family ceded the patrimonial jurisdiction they were entitled to in this village to the state. "
An overview of the history of the Reiskirchen community is provided by an exhibition in the shepherd's house , which is used as a local museum and is operated by the Reiskirchen local history association.
On November 8, 1974, the municipality was granted permission by the Hessian Minister of the Interior to use the coat of arms developed by the Hessian State Archives in Darmstadt , the description of which reads "a silver tip covered with a red church tower in a black, reticulated gold stripe ."
In the Saasen district of Reiskirchen there is still a relic from the 1950s: a freezer community , founded when the purchase of freezers was still too expensive for private households.
Territorial reform
On December 31, 1970 , the communities of Reiskirchen, Hattenrod , Saasen and Winnerod voluntarily merged to form the new large community of Reiskirchen as part of the regional reform in Hesse . On April 1, 1972, the community was Burkhard Felden voluntarily incorporated . On January 1, 1977, the municipalities of Bersrod , Ettingshausen and Lindenstruth were added by the law to reorganize the Dill district, the districts of Gießen and Wetzlar and the city of Gießen . Local districts with local advisory councils and local mayors have been installed for all of Reiskirchen's formerly independent communities .

Courts since 1803
In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or registry lords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Barons of Buseck" in Grossen-Buseck was responsible for Reiskirchen . The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .
With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. But it was not until 1827 that patrimonial jurisdiction was exercised by the " Landgericht Gießen " on behalf of the barons. As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed.
On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg , formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances of the District Court of Gießen, the Regional Court of Gießen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are the last instance.

traffic
Reiskirchen is conveniently located on the highways 5 and 480 ("Reiskirchener Dreieck") and on the federal road 49 . A bypass is planned for the B 49 in the south. Mainly due to the level crossing at Reiskirchener Bahnhof, the traffic backs up when the barriers are closed, and since the traffic volume is to increase by 33% by 2020, the bypass is classified in the urgent need category. The cost of the southern bypass is given as around 12 million euros.
On March 22, 2009, the citizens of Reiskirchen, who are entitled to vote, voted in a referendum on whether a resolution by the local council for the southern bypass should be repealed. 66 percent of the voters voted against this proposal with a turnout of 56.6 percent.
There are stops of the Vogelsbergbahn in the districts of Reiskirchen and Saasen .
